The EOSC-Life Training team offers funding to support training activities and provides expertise and guidance to help you organise successful and impactful training through our Training Open Call.
This call is for training on topics relevant for EOSC-Life. Proposals can be submitted for funding to support the following activities (not mutually exclusive).
With the Second Training Open Call, EOSC-Life offers support without any restriction with respect to the training modality. Training courses can be face-to-face, online or blended courses. Courses may be organised in collaboration with non-EOSC-Life partners given that the rationale and added value can be demonstrated.
EOSC-Life aims to address topics relevant across RIs and foster close collaboration and exchange among RIs. Therefore, proposals should have at least two Research Infrastructures as partners in the application. Contributions do not have to be equal, e.g. one RI could provide expertise and the other RI the use case and event organisation. RI applicants do not need to be part of EOSC-Life, but strong rationale why they provide additional value/expertise must be given. As an additional measure to foster collaboration & exchange across RIs, successful applicants are requested to allow shadowing of trainers if of interest i.e. allow trainers from other RIs as observers to the course and if feasible during the preparation.
The application team needs to indicate who will be the lead applicant. If the proposal is successful the lead applicant will be responsible to distribute the funding granted among the applicant team according to the agreed budget. In case no applicant is an EOSC-Life beneficiary, a third party contract will be concluded between the lead applicant’s legal entity and the legal entity of a WP9 lead.
The budget for the Second Training Open Call is 45,000 Euro and we aim to fund multiple projects from that amount. Members of EOSC-Life WP9 need to clearly justify why the activity will need additional funding. We suggest to get in touch with the WP9 leads before preparing the application.
Deadline for proposal submission is Friday 13 November 2020 (midnight BST/GMT+1).
Only complete proposals will be considered.
Submission uses an ARIA web form: our templates will help you structure your application accordingly.
Expression of interest stage: Applicants should email the WP9 leaders with a draft proposal to discuss and request feedback, including possible synergies with other expected proposals.

There is no restriction with respect to venue location as long as budget and travel time are within acceptable limits. For self-led online training, courses must be made freely accessible for the duration of the project. We suggest that you refer to the FAIRsFAIR guidelines on how to make training materials FAIR.
The quality of training and fit to the training needs of the EOSC-Life community are the main selection criteria, additional criteria include credibility of the timeline, maturity of the proposal, appropriateness of staffing, involvement of institutions from the EU13, and involvement of more than two Research Infrastructures.
The EOSC-Life Training Open Call might only cover part of the direct or indirect costs needed to develop or execute a training activity. Details shall be described in the proposal.
Budget will only be transferred after the completion of the training activities.
For selected proposals EOSC-Life and its partner infrastructures can use the title and the short description of the training activity, names and contacts of organisers to advertise the course. Selected proposals need to provide a story/blog after the training activity is completed
The main course organiser is responsible for collecting consent from trainers to use their personal information (e.g. names, photos, email addresses).
